Template 4 - Parent / School Family

Dear Members of the Loudoun County School Board, My name is [Name], and my child/children attend [Rosa Lee Carter Elementary / Rock Ridge High School]. We have lived in Loudoun Valley Estates for [X] years. I am writing to ask you to accept our community’s donation of Parcel L — nearly 13 acres of green space along Broad Run that our kids have walked through, played on, and learned from for as long as these schools and this neighborhood have existed together. My child/children walk those trails to school. Their teams practice on that land. Their teachers hold classes outdoors there. There has never been a fence or a real boundary between the school grounds and this open space — because it has always functioned as one continuous, shared resource for our families and our schools. We chose this neighborhood because of what this land represents — a community that was designed around green space, around schools, around the kind of place you want your kids to grow up in. We have taken care of this land for years. We did not preserve it all this time so that it could be torn apart for data center infrastructure. That is what makes this donation so natural. Loudoun Valley Estates is not asking the School Board to take on something foreign. We are asking you to formalize what has always been true — that this land belongs to the families and children who use it every day. LVE retains maintenance responsibility. The School Board takes title. A permanent conservation easement ensures it stays protected. As a parent in this community, I cannot think of a better outcome for our children. Please accept this donation. With gratitude, [Your Name] [Address] (optional) Loudoun Valley Estates
